Natural Beauty Balms

For the extreme weather warrior

When severe cold and dryness wreaks havoc on your skin, reach for this chamomile, sea kelp and aloe infused balm. Rescue Balm, $11, Nova Scotia Fisherman

The healer

Six rich butters (murumuru, kokum, cocoa, capuaçu, mango and shea) blend together to create the ultimate healing elixir. Great for treating and preventing stretch marks, extreme dryness and improving elasticity. Tata Harper Redefining Body Balm, $157, Sephora.

The multi-tasker

This solid balm goes on like a clear, dry oil to protect against the wind and cold and can be applied to relieve everything from eczema spots to cold sores — and even razor burn. Matter Company All Heal Salve, $18, Well.ca.

For the girl on-the-go

Pop this totally packable multi-stick in your purse and let essential oils like lavender and chamomile soothe and calm skin while antioxidant-rich calendula and rosemary help to heal and strengthen it. Erbaviva Organic Lip and Cheek Balm, $17, The Detox Market

The redness eraser

Apply to places that gets exposed to the elements (like apples of cheeks or tops of hands) to help reduce redness and repair skin. Rosehip & Lemongrass Repair Balm, $88, Eminence Organics.

The eczema eliminator

This concentrated balm for adults and babies alike harnesses the power of cell-renewing rose hip, hydrating hemp seeds, restorative zinc and itch-relieving turmeric to calm and heal skin irritations like eczema, swelling and dryness. Eczema Balm, $52, Province Apothecary.
